Canary Wharf Station

The Canary Wharf Tube
Station is located on the Jubilee Line,
between Canada Water and North Greenwich.
The Canary Wharf is being maintained by Tube
Lines. The busiest London Underground
station, the Canary Wharf Tube Station is
being passed by approximately 40 million
people every year.

Canary Wharf's is designed by architect Sir
Norman Foster and constructed by Tarmac
Construction

and Bachy UK Joint Venture.
The cathedral-like interior of the wharf
made it a popular venue for wedding
celebrations. Thankfully, the proportions
were made large enough to accommodate a
great volume of passengers, which amounts to
50,000 to 70,000 daily. An escalator was
added in 1999, and it was opened by Ken
Livingstone. It also shares a name with the
Docklands Light Railway station at Canary
Wharf, but the two are not integrated. It is
also near Heron Quays DLR station. In fact
all three stations are connected underground
via shopping malls.

The interior is enclosed with a two curved
glass canopies at the east and west centered
by a public park. Below-ground stations are
equipped with platform edge doors. Danny
Boyle's film, "28 Days Later" used the
station as a location for some of the
scenes.

Currently, the Canary Wharf Station is
undergoing changes to make it more
accessible to commuters. This is being done
by making quick connections to other
stations.
